A tabular statement of tho strength ot the liberating army is contained in the General's manifesto, showing a total strength of G1,GS8 won, 5,085 ot whom arc in the Oriente District, 7,531 in the Camaguay, and -17,000 in Las Villas. Not only have tbo Cubans an organized army, but they have also, according to (J on oral Quesada, in the district occupied by their troops, churches, schools and manufactories for the supplying of the material. lie claims that the Governments of the United States and Great Britain arc ignorant of what has happened in Cuba, in conscquence of the facility with which 1 ho Spaniards can disseminato falso news.
